Compensation and productivity? (Take II)

["Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA>]

Andrea Brundt gently pointed out that I didn't actually answer her question.
Mea culpa: <<What I'm wondering, though, is at a more personal level. In
your experience, does better pay increase your productivity? Has it improved
the productivity of other tech writers you know?>>

I'm most productive when working on an interesting project and people get
the heck out of my way and let me work. The money's less important--probably
because I'm paid well--and the friendly work environment, with readily
accessible SMEs, is much more important in terms of productivity. Can't
speak for others.
